    hey,
    i have a laptop but it dosnt come with an internal wireless card, so instead of having to go out and spend money on one i wanted to connect through usb (because my main computer is using the ethernet cable.) i got it all connected but for some reason i cant get online. can some one please help me or give me a walk through on how to connect with an usb cable, also is it possible to connect one computer through ethernet and at the same time connect another through usb?

    -thanks

    can't have both usb & ethernet in use at same time. get a router & an usb-cat5 adapter.
